Features Collects and discusses the ideas underpinning decision
making through optimization tools in a simple and straightforward
manner. Suitable for an undergraduate course in optimization-based
decision making, or as a supplementary resource for courses in
operations research and management science. Self-contained coverage
of traditional and more modern optimization models, while not
requiring a previous background in decision theory.

This edited monograph contains a comprehensive overview of
educational developments in the fields of operations research (OR)
and management science (MS). The book outlines key factors in OR/MS
curricular programs and analyses different approaches regarding
student enrollment and failure rates. The approach is genuinely
international, whereas the focus lies on the European level. The
target audience primarily comprises public policy planners in
education, deans and school directors as well as program
coordinators.

The development of Operations Research (OR) requires constant
improvements, such as the integration of research results with
business applications and innovative educational practice. The full
deployment and commercial exploitation of goods and services
generally need the construction of strong synergies between
educational institutions and businesses. The IO2015 -XVII Congress
of APDIO aims at strengthening the knowledge triangle in education,
research and innovation, in order to maximize the contribution of
OR for sustainable growth, the promoting of a knowledge-based
economy, and the smart use of finite resources. The IO2015-XVII
Congress of APDIO is a privileged meeting point for the promotion
and dissemination of OR and related disciplines, through the
exchange of ideas among teachers, researchers, students , and
professionals with different background, but all sharing a common
desire that is the development of OR.

Bringing together leading international and interdisciplinary
scholars, this ground-breaking volume examines the theory and
practice of philosophical health in contemporary contexts of care,
from therapy to convalescence. But what do we mean by philosophical
health? Are you philosophically healthy? Whilst this book does not
seek to provide a normative definition, as it explores and
encourages pluralism in philosophical ways of life, philosophical
health is beyond physical and psychological health. One may
envision philosophical health as a state of creative coherence
between a person’s way of thinking and their way of acting, such
that the possibilities for a good life are increased, and the needs
for flourishing satisfied. An idea central to philosophical health
is the concept of ‘possibility’. After all, without a sense of
self-possibility and openness to the future, health loses meaning,
and conversely, pathologies are defined by various kinds of
impossibilities. As such, philosophical health reconsiders care as
a process of cultivating or pruning the possible in embodied,
psychological, and social terms, of allowing things to take a new
turn, to re-generate, or in some cases to vanish. Drawing on the
history of philosophy, from the ancient concept of flourishing to
figures such as Kant, Nietzsche, Foucault, and Hadot, Philosophical
Health sheds light on the understudied philosophical dimension of
care and the healing dimension of philosophizing. Advocating
philosophy as a lived practice, it uncovers the increasing
relevance of philosophical health to contemporary debates on
well-being, counselling, and personal development.
This book provides an insight of relevant case studies and updated
practices in "PharmaceuticalSupply Chains" (PharmSC) while
addressing the most relevant topics within the COST Action
"Medicines Shortages" (CA15105).The volume focuses on the most
recent developments in the design, planning and scheduling
ofPharmSC, broadening from the suppliers' selection to the impact
on patients and healthcaresystems, addressing uncertainty and risk
mitigation, and computational issues. It is directed at MSc/PhD
students and young researchers (Post-Docs) in
Pharmaceutics/Pharmaceutical sciences, Engineering fields,
Economics/Management, as well as pharmaceutical decision makers,
managers, and practitioners, and advanced readers demanding a fresh
approach to decision making for PharmSC. The contributed chapters
are associated with the homonymous COST Training Schools (TS), and
the book creates a better understanding of the Action "Medicines
Shortages" challenges and opportunities.
Esprit de corps has played a significant role in the cultural and
political history of the last 300 years. Through several historical
case studies, Luis de Miranda shows how this phrase acts as a
combat concept with a clear societal impact. He also reveals how
interconnected, yet distinct, French, English and American modern
intellectual and political thought is. In the end, this is a
cautionary analysis of past and current ideologies of ultra-unified
human ensembles, a recurrent historical and theoretical fabulation
the author calls 'ensemblance'.
